Roofline replacement renews the fascia boards that carry your gutters, the soffits beneath the eaves, bargeboards on gable ends and the gutters and downpipes, usually in low-maintenance uPVC, to protect rafter ends and carry rainwater safely away.
Wimbledon sits within our coverage for new fascias, soffits and guttering, as do neighbouring Morden, Mitcham and Putney. Before giving a price we want to see the property: the condition of what's there now, the access, and anything that might need extra work. The guide range for London is £2,600–£5,800 including VAT, and your written quote will spell out exactly what that covers.

How much do new fascias, soffits and guttering cost in Wimbledon?
The table below shows guide prices for new fascias, soffits and guttering in Wimbledon. They are based on rates in London, which run about 30% above the national guide, giving an overall range of £2,600–£5,800. All figures include VAT and are firmed up after a free site survey.

| Detached or with bargeboards | Larger houses, gable bargeboards, dormers or extensive rafter repairs. | £5,200–£10,500 |
The main things that change the figure:
- Length of eaves and number of gable ends

- Scaffolding and access, including over conservatories
- Number of downpipes and drain connections
Scope of the work
- Removal and disposal of old fascias, soffits and gutters
- Repairs to rotten rafter ends and sprockets
- New uPVC fascias, soffits and bargeboards in your chosen colour

Local housing and new fascias, soffits and guttering
London's housing is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often in yellow London stock brick, with Georgian terraces in central districts and mansion blocks across many inner areas. Outer boroughs have large belts of interwar semis, and there are extensive post-war council estates. Many houses have been split into flats, and conservation areas are widespread.
Terraces suit side-return extensions and rear dormer loft conversions; interwar semis commonly take hip-to-gable lofts. Shared party walls, restricted parking and conservation rules often shape the plans and the programme.
In Wimbledon, as elsewhere in London, we take the building's age and construction into account before recommending anything, because both can change what is involved in new fascias, soffits and guttering.
Planning and building rules in Wimbledon
Planning law differs across the UK. For a home in Wimbledon, it is the England rules below that count, and we check them with the council ahead of any quote.
Replacing fascias, soffits and guttering does not need planning permission in England unless the house is listed or a conservation area restricts materials.
Building Regulations do not normally apply to like-for-like roofline replacement. Bats are protected across the UK; if they roost under roof tiles, soffits or fascias, work stops and a licensed ecologist advises before it restarts.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
How does the job run?
Free site survey
A free survey comes first. It gives us what we need to price new fascias, soffits and guttering properly, including dimensions, existing materials and access for deliveries, and gives you the chance to ask anything you like.
Your fixed price
The quote arrives in writing, not over the phone. It covers the full scope, the finishes you've chosen, any exclusions and the payment schedule, with a fixed price tied to that specification.
Getting ready
With the quote agreed, we book the work in and handle preparation: permissions where needed, building control notifications, material orders and access arrangements for your Wimbledon property.
Build and hand over
Work goes ahead as scheduled and you deal with one contact throughout. When the last trade leaves, we clear and clean the site, talk you through what has been done and pass on any certificates and care instructions.
Why homeowners choose us
Common questions
Why do my gutters overflow?
Gutters usually overflow because they are blocked by leaves, moss or debris, have lost their fall so water sits rather than running to the outlet, or are too small for the roof area. Sagging brackets and failed joints also cause leaks. We check falls, joints and outlet sizes during the survey and may suggest deeper gutters or extra downpipes for large roofs.
Do you need to access the roof tiles?
Replacing fascias usually means lifting or supporting the bottom row of roof tiles, because the felt or membrane must run over the new fascia into the gutter. Eaves protection trays are fitted to replace perished felt at the edge and stop rain getting behind the gutter. The tiles are then refixed. We include this detail in every full roofline replacement.
Can you combine new fascias, soffits and guttering with other work?
Yes. Because we manage several trades under one contract, we can plan new fascias, soffits and guttering alongside other work on your Wimbledon home, such as new windows with rendering, or a kitchen refit with an extension. Combining jobs can reduce repeat set-up such as scaffolding, skips and access, and every element is listed and priced in the same written quote.
How long does roofline replacement take?
Replacing fascias, soffits and guttering on a typical semi-detached house usually takes one to three days, once scaffolding is in place. Larger houses, dormers and gable bargeboards take longer, as do rafter repairs found when the old boards come off. We work one elevation at a time and connect the new guttering as we go, so rainwater is always carried away.
Which postcodes in Wimbledon do you cover?
We cover CR4, SM4, SW17 and SW18, along with the rest of London. If your postcode is not listed, get in touch anyway: our coverage is UK-wide, and we can usually arrange a survey wherever you live. Enter your postcode in the guide-price tool or contact form and we will confirm.
Nearby towns
We survey and quote throughout Wimbledon's CR4, SM4, SW17 and SW18 postcodes and in surrounding places such as Morden, Mitcham and Putney. The process and pricing approach are identical in each of them.
